Choo Keng Kwang, a renowned Singaporean artist, uses delicate brushstrokes and a harmonious colour palette to depict a quaint fishing village, complete with rustic boats, wooden huts, and the tranquil sea. This particular artwork not only showcases Choo’s mastery in blending realism with impressionistic elements but also serves as a visual preservation of Singapore’s maritime heritage and the simple, hardworking lives of its fishermen.
